The Best Way to Warm Up Tortillas

We all know it's a good idea to warm up tortillas for tacos, because no one wants a tortilla that flakes and falls apart while you're eating. But what's the best way to do it?

Here's my favorite method, which you can use any time you're making tacos. Place a dry cast iron skillet on the grill while I'm making the other components of the recipe. For corn tortillas, keep the skillet dry; for flour tortillas, add a little bit of butter to the skillet so they brown up. Heat the tortillas for about 30 seconds per side. Once they start to bubble up, they're ready to flip or pull off.

You can also place your tortillas directly on the grill grates and heat them for 15 to 30 seconds per side. Once you've heated up all your tortillas, keep the warmed tortillas in foil, or wrapped in a damp dish towel inside an airtight container.
